DIY Classroom Decor Ideas




Create a classroom you love with my DIY classroom decor ideas. My DIY classroom decor ideas are all printable PDFs that can be printed in colour on white paper or printed in black and white on coloured paper, decor that you or your students can create to give your classroom a calm and welcoming look. All of my classroom posters are designed with a simple and minimalist look so that they don’t look distracting or busy. All posters are sized: Poster sizes are 8.5" x 11.”

I often laminate my classroom decor to keep it looking new for years to come.


Sometimes I rotate my decor on bulletin boards or hang the decor beside student artwork. 


Classroom decor helps to make your classroom more inviting and feel more like a community or home and less institutional
